But what happens when the cargo bike is heavily loaded or you have to cover long distances? This is where an e-cargo bike comes into play. But why shouldn&#8217;t you simply swap your existing cargo bike for a new e-cargo bike and retrofit it with an electric motor?   <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The answer is simple: you can <strong>save a lot of money<\/strong> and continue to use your already familiar and reliable cargo bike. An excellent way to equip your cargo bike with an electric motor is to use a mid-motor from Bafang or CYC. The motors are powerful and very easy to install.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another advantage is the <strong>flexibility.<\/strong> You can continue to use your existing cargo bike frame and don&#8217;t have to buy a new bike. You can also switch the motor on or off as required and use the bike without electric assistance. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A converted e-cargo bike is also a good choice in terms of the environment. By using your existing cargo bike, you are helping to reduce resource consumption and CO2 emissions. E-cargo bikes are also an <strong>environmentally friendly alternative<\/strong> to cars and motorcycles.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what advantages does a converted e-cargo bike offer over a new e-cargo bike from a dealer? First of all, the<strong> price is an important factor<\/strong>. A new e-cargo bike can cost several thousand euros, while retrofitting your existing cargo bike with an electric motor is usually much cheaper.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another important advantage is that you can <strong>customize<\/strong> and expand your cargo bike in terms of e-components <strong>according to your own wishes<\/strong>. For example, you can freely choose the power, appearance, range and much more and take the required parameters into account when selecting the right motor.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To summarize, retrofitting your existing cargo bike with an e-bike motor is a great way to <strong>save money and enjoy the benefits of an e-cargo bike at the same time<\/strong>. With a mid-motor, you can easily and simply equip your cargo bike with a powerful electric motor. This makes your cargo bike the ideal companion for all your everyday needs and you are also doing <strong>something good for the environment.<\/strong> Contact us, we will be happy to help you, answer your questions and provide you with an individual offer.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is about the advantages of retrofitting your cargo bike and why this can be
